In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five retail news roundup, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Wiliot, Avalara, TGW, and Sezzle, Chris and Anne discussed:

  • Macy’s bold decision to close 150 stores (Source: CNBC)
  • Why Amazon’s move to offer scheduled grocery delivery could be one of the most important headlines of the year (Source: Chain Store Age)
  • Microsoft's decision to fortify its Gen AI position by investing in Mistral AI (Source: Fast Company)
